+# The Base32 symbol set is a superset of the Base16 symbol set.
+#
+# We chose a symbol set of 10 digits and 22 letters. We exclude 4 of the 26
+# letters: I L O U.
+#
+# Excluded Letters
+#
+# I:: Can be confused with 1
+# L:: Can be confused with 1
+# O:: Can be confused with 0
+# U:: Accidental obscenity
+#
+# When decoding, upper and lower case letters are accepted, and i and l will
+# be treated as 1 and o will be treated as 0. When encoding, only upper case
+# letters are used.
+#
+# If the bit-length of the number to be encoded is not a multiple of 5 bits,
+# then zero-extend the number to make its bit-length a multiple of 5.
+#
+# Hyphens (-) can be inserted into symbol strings. This can partition a 
+# string into manageable pieces, improving readability by helping to prevent
+# confusion. Hyphens are ignored during decoding. An application may look for
+# hyphens to assure symbol string correctness.
